SD card unreadable Mac - what am I doing wrong? - KLib - 11-15-2023 I put the SD card into the Airsense 11 and the machine formats the card. When I put the SD card into my Mac (Ventura 13.0), I'm told the card is unreadable. My options are eject/ignore/initialize. I'm not tech savvy. Nor forum savvy. Thank you in advance for any help. RE: SD card unreadable Mac - what am I doing wrong? - Crimson Nape - 11-15-2023 Hi KLib! - The Resmed does not format the SD card, it only adds the required files to it. You need to format the card to a FAT32 in your PC prior to inserting it into the CPAP. - Red RE: SD card unreadable Mac - what am I doing wrong? - KLib - 11-15-2023 Thank you. I don't see FAT32. My choices are: MS-DOS (FAT) MS-DOS (FAT12) ExFAT I'm using a 64GB SD card.

RE: SD card unreadable Mac - what am I doing wrong? - PeaceLoveAndPizza - 11-17-2023 Or, just toss the bloody thing in the bin and get a new SD card  RE: SD card unreadable Mac - what am I doing wrong? - KLib - 11-17-2023 Thanks, everyone, for your help. After many attempts at formatting, I went up the street and used a neighbour's PC to format an SD card. Worked like a charm. And yes, a number of the bloody things were tossed in the bin.
